General

The black LTD Snakebyte BLK is a James Hetfield Signature model that is a great guitar - also for those who aren't fans of Metallica. The advanced metal/hard rock guitarist is bound to be impressed by the exceptional sound of the special JH pickups. The thing is, these EMG pickups swing both ways - they have the hum-free power of active humbuckers but also the dynamics an warmth of passive ones!

The smooth Snakebyte

Hold the LTD Snakebyte BLK and you'll immediately feel the comfort of the bevelled body and slender neck. Let your hand slither down the neck while playing wilde solos and you'll notice how easy it is to bend the strings thanks to the Extra Jumbo frets and the immense amount of room there is at the highest part. Additionally, the mahogany body and ebony fretboard ensure a full yet neat sound. The reliable Tonepros bridge offers a proper dose of clear sustain.

ESP's LTD guitars

LTD is a subdivision of the renowned ESP brand. Many hard rock and heavy metal bass players, ranging from amateur to professional to rock legend, own an ESP guitar. ESP offer several series, including a large number of signature models made in collaboration with famous artists. LTD guitars are perfect if a professional instrument is out of your reach just yet. They offer durable quality, a beautiful shape, a tasteful finish and excellent sound at a reasonable price.
